Dear Best Friend

A thank you letter.

Dear best friend,

I’d like to start this off by saying the obvious. I love you. A whole lot. I love you more than stuffed crust pepperoni pizza with olives. I love you more than Beyoncé’s new album. And let’s get real, I love you more than Kanye loves Kanye. You are always there for me whenever I need you and you make me laugh like no other. You understand me in a way not many people can and you make me a better person. You really have helped shape me into the person I am today so I guess what I am trying to say is thank you. For what exactly? Allow me…

Thank you for letting me call your mom by her first name. It makes me feel like an adult. Thank you for telling me things about yourself that are personal and thank you for trusting me enough to keep them private. Thank you for never judging me when I do stupid things and also thank you for always cheering me on when I do non-stupid things. Sometimes, when I can’t believe in my own self, you swoop right in and believe in me for me. You support me more than my bra. So thanks for that, too.

Thank you for always letting me rant to you about anything. Thank you for dropping everything to make me happy. You’re probably one of the few people who does this for me religiously. Thank you for that time you tried to play dermatologist and pop the pimple on my butt. And thank you for reassuring me that my boobs look just fine. Thank you for the cuddles and the never ending jokes and laughter and thank you for never fighting me when I want to be the little spoon. Thank you for dancing with me always and for sharing your love of books with me. Thank you for letting me spoil you, whether it’s a cute picnic or a "Star Wars" adult coloring book. Most importantly, thank you for being vegetarian so that I could eat all the bacon. I know you did it just for that reason.

Thank you for the deep conversations and thank you for the silly ones too. Thank you for always pushing me to be a better version of myself. Thank you for celebrating my successes and thank you for trying to pick me back up when I fail. You are my biggest motivator and only want what is best for me. Thank you for that. Thank you for sending me the ugliest selfies of yourself on Snapchat. They make me so happy. Thank you for keeping our streak and I’m sorry that I lost it after 142 days. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for never letting our differences become an issue. Thank you for the stupid fights we had because they made us stronger. Thank you for never holding grudges against me when I mess up or overreact and for never letting boys get between us, even when they tried really hard.

Thank you for sticking with me even when I moved over a thousand miles away. Thank you for the letters and the late night FaceTime calls. Even when those stopped being a frequent occurrence, we still managed to not forget about one another. So, thank you. Thank you for making new friends, but not pushing me aside. Thank you for getting a boyfriend, but still treating me like your soulmate. Thank you for leading your own new life, but not forgetting to let me be a part of it.

So, thank you for being the best friend I could have ever have. Just thank you.

Love,

Your best friend

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
